Hair cuts!

A few weeks ago I took the girls to get hair cuts. Miriam is always complaining that the back of her neck is too hot- so we decided that we'd try a short doo this time. Eliza, just a little trim to help even things out- I usually cut her hair myself. Anyhow, the girls loved a little pampering and I giggled and all the spectators. When do you get to see two cute little foreign girls get their hair cut?





Poor thing- middle of the afternoon, sitting still, warm room, what choice did she have but to sleep? :) I tried to wake her but it was useless... I had to prop her head up so the hair dresser could finish her cut.



Do you like the audience we had for Miriam's cut? She loves the attention.



The final product:



FYI: It is more common than not to have male hairdressers in China- I've only seen a handful of female hair dressers in our 5 years living here. I know that in America there is often a stereotype that goes with a male hairdresser but here it is the exact opposite. An American friend that used to live in Beijing (and happened to be a retired hairdresser) learned that female hairdressers are often considered to have extra curricular activities that I wouldn't want to mention on our family blog- if you know what I mean? Interesting, huh?
